Chapter 605: Three Great Opportunities! The Highest SSS-Class Reward!

You may stay in Qingfeng Secret Realm for one month. Within this realm, there are three great opportunities.

First, there is the Yuan Energy Pool—training within it grants six times the efficiency of external training!

Second, there are the Element Pools: Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Light, and Darkness.

These seven Element Pools each contain an extremely potent single element.

For elemental ability users who enter, besides absorbing elemental energy and improving mastery over their elemental abilities,

there is also a chance their ability may evolve...

As the middle-aged Caucasian man described the Qingfeng Secret Realm, the hundred prodigies below

already wore expressions of delight.

Yuan Energy Pool—six times training efficiency!

Spending one month in Qingfeng Secret Realm equals half a year of grueling cultivation!

This effect rivals an S-class cultivation resource!

As for the seven Element Pools, they are even more astonishing—there's a chance for ability evolution!

Among the hundred prodigies, those with elemental abilities each had burning eyes.

Though the probability is low, what if it happens?

If their ability evolves, their future potential will be utterly transformed!

"Come to think of it, I recall Xu Jingming of Great Xia's lightning ability evolved all the way from E-class to SS-class, right?

If he enters the Lightning Element Pool in Qingfeng Secret Realm, could it evolve from SS-class to SSS-class?"

A voice from somewhere instantly drew everyone's gaze to Xu Jingming at the very front.

After the prodigy tournament's overwhelming publicity,

Xu Jingming's ability evolution was no secret on Blue Planet.

But Xu Jingming's ability evolutions followed no pattern—the only commonality was the stormcloud lightning.

Could stormcloud lightning compare to the lightning within the Lightning Element Pool?

With stormcloud lightning alone, Xu Jingming evolved his ability twice—this time, the probability of evolution must be even higher!

And now, Xu Jingming is already the dual champion of the Global Prodigy Exchange Tournament, the strongest among Blue Planet's youth!

If he truly evolves into SSS-class, none of them could imagine how powerful he would become.

"Element Pools can only enable evolution up to S-class. There has never been a case of evolution into SS-class or SSS-class elemental abilities.

Moreover, the probability is extremely low. In the hundred years since the Prodigy Tournament began, two thousand contestants have entered Qingfeng Secret Realm.

Only twelve have achieved ability evolution."

Sensing the prodigies' murmurs, the Caucasian man added.

He also unconsciously glanced toward Xu Jingming.

Without consuming any heavenly treasures or enduring special lightning environments,

he evolved from E-class lightning ability to SS-class ability.

This has never occurred in modern history—or in ancient civilization history.

"So that's how it is. Good to know." The prodigies sighed in relief.

Xu Jingming's SS-class dominance is already overwhelming—if he truly evolved into SSS-class, how could anyone else survive?

Meanwhile, prodigies with A-class elemental abilities wore eager expressions.

Hoping they might be the lucky one to trigger ability evolution.

Xu Jingming's gaze also stirred.

The seven Element Pools—Light and Water—are perfect places to repair those two damaged elemental essences!

"The third opportunity is me."

After answering the prodigies' questions, the middle-aged Caucasian continued:

"I will wait for you at the end of Qingfeng Secret Realm, beside the Yuan Energy Pool.

You may challenge me—I will suppress my power to seventh-rank.

If you can withstand me for thirty seconds, you receive an S+ class cultivation resource.

One minute: SS-class. The maximum five minutes: an SS+ class cultivation resource!"

When the man finished speaking, everyone present laughed.

Who among the top hundred in the Prodigy Tournament's finals lacks seventh-rank Master-level power?

In their eyes, this third opportunity was just another gift, like the first two.

Yet one EU prodigy chuckled bitterly:

"It's not that simple. This Bell Norton is our EU's ninth-rank Martial Saint.

He possesses an S-class enhanced beast-type ability. Even if his rank is suppressed to seventh-rank lower tier,

most of us here couldn't withstand him for even one second."

S-class ability?

Everyone froze. To these A-class ability awakeners, S-class was indeed formidable.

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered as he silently assessed his odds.

S-class ability awakeners correspond to King-tier monsters.

He had slain fifteen seventh-rank lower-tier King-tier monsters in the Prodigy Tournament's offense-defense match—logically, he should secure the top reward.

But Norton was different. Though his rank was suppressed, his ninth-rank Martial Saint combat experience remained.

With such experience, any minor opening during battle would be seized, leading to defeat.

"I'll let others go first—see how Norton performs in actual combat..."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

Surviving one minute against Norton should be no problem—but five minutes might be difficult.

Still, Qingfeng Secret Realm contains monsters.

I'll hunt some monsters first, raise my rank, and then aim for the top reward.

"Lord Norton, the third opportunity only mentions how long you can withstand you.

What if someone defeats you—what reward would they get?"

One of the prodigies asked.

"Defeat me? That possibility is extremely slim."

Norton spoke with strong confidence, but paused, then added:

"If anyone truly defeats me, the final reward will be an SSS-class cultivation resource!"

SSS-class?!

At his words, the crowd erupted.

SSS-class cultivation resources are exceedingly rare—typically reserved for eighth-rank Grand Masters, ninth-rank Martial Saints, or Law Saints.

Using one on us sixth-rank ability users would be a colossal waste!

Of course, the enhancement it brings would be terrifying.

"Pfft, too bad—we have no chance.

Surviving one minute for a regular SS-class reward is already great."

Everyone present knew their limits—only four people here had any chance of defeating Norton...

After announcing the gathering time for Qingfeng Secret Realm, Xu Jingming immediately received a location inquiry from the tournament officials.

After entering his location in Dayangzhou, he received notification: gather tomorrow at 7 a. m. at Caesar Square in Mocheng East District.

Flying from Dayangzhou to Medan in the EU takes over ten hours—this timing is reasonable.

So he told Ling Shuang and Xia Lan about Qingfeng Secret Realm, packed lightly,

and stored his SS-class battle suit, SS-class spear, and combat technique scrolls into his space ring.

The next morning, he set off for the gathering point in Mocheng East District.

Yet the moment he arrived, Xu Jingming spotted a familiar slender figure...
